The last time I took a vacation, I checked my tremendous suitcase because it was a mere six inches too long for the airport’s carry-on standards. Heh. And guess what happened? Yup– they lost it. They sent it to Chicago, then Hawaii, and then Florida, and finally to the state where I actually was– only for me to have to wait up until THREE A.M. for a man in a pick-up truck to deliver it to where I was staying.

On the second to last day of my week long trip.

However, I could have saved tons of space (sanity) and not carried an apartment-sized piece of luggage, had I known about the miraculous Paper Shampoo packs from Organize.com, Inc. They’re tiny, they’re biodegradable, and they aren’t restricted by silly “number of ounces allowed” rules that you run into at airports these days. Plus, they’re super cheap– just $5.99 a pack on Amazon– and they make other amazing dissolving paper products like shaving cream, conditioner, and laundry soap.

I wonder if they make dissolving paper nail clippers so I can get those past security, too…
